Hi John,

Thank you for your reply!

This bayonet has more pre 3R-period features than just the makers mark:
- The grip plates are made of wood (pic 1 hereunder)
- Blade shape is slimmer compared to 3R dress bayonets.
- The etchings are similar in style to those found on triple etched swords made by Alcoso. (pic 2 & 3).

Any other inputs?

Anyone has (seen) a similar one?

Thanks and best regards,

Herman
